I watched some clips of Avatar: The Last Airbender.All I could think while watching it was "This should be in Japanese..." Okay, I know that Last Airbender is heavily inspired by anime, but I think that's the series' downfall, too. I'm sorry, but if you use things that are inspired by a different culture, using them in your culture is still weird. It's the same problem that 'proper' anime translated into different languages has. Some things just sound WEIRD in other languages.

Specifically, one of the clips was the battle between Katara and Hama. Yeah, the bloodbending. I'm sorry, but what was the point of having Katara be at her mercy for about 30 seconds, only for her to say "Your technique won't work on me"? That's asinine, stupid and either a lie (since we saw that her bloodbending DID work on Katara) or it makes the 'hero' look like a dick. You can't pretend to be oooh, poor widdle helpless for a bit and then be the smuggest dick by saying you are immune to that. It ruins any drama.

The Loud House, it's a surprisingly good show from Nickolodeon (thank goodness theyre learning from their mistakes.) It's about a boy named Lincoln Loud in a family of 10 sisters. My personal favorite being Lisa the smart one.

I watched Primal Fear on Netflix yesterday. It's the first live action courtroom film I have seen, so I don't know if this is the norm, but dang there were many parts in this one where I genuinely thought "did Takumi get inspires by this when he wrote 2-4?"

Overall, it's a good movie I felt, but it has some problems, mainly with the tone and the plot. There are a few script oddities and lines the actors just couldn't deliver without ruining the illusion that their improv-sounding lines weren't really that and it made some scenes awkward. But in general the plot had issues. The characters are fine, no, they are amazing and three dimensional and the theme of the story is great, but the way it gets to show this was a bit unnecessary. It deals with a needleaslyy violent and nasty case that made me uncomfortable and by the end it had left me with a bad taste in my mouth while still making me go "that was a great story", so I think overall I find the movie middling. The end twist is great though, I just wish I could change the crime in the story so it wasn't such a taboo, because this movie is one of those where even if some parts are boring, it still makes you tune in again because it's well paced and the writing has an attitude and a creativity that makes something stand out in every scene.

Binge watching Doctor Who. Speaking of my previous post about Steven Universe I would love a crossover between these two. I know it's never gonna happen because one is animation and one is real life. But maybe if they turned Doctor Who to animation just for this special it would work. But hey a boy can dream.

Rewatching Doctor Who. Honestly (Unpopular opinion here) I love Sleep No More. I love the found footage concept and strange sand creatures chasing you. The main villain of the episode had a fantastic preformance and a nice plotwis. No sleep Capsules I now need to use those because I hate sleeping. Also the song they play for most of this episode is catchy. The song is called "Mr. Sandman" if your wondering.

Been watching a lot of things with my bestie. Recently we been watching a lot of My Hero Academia, Avengers Assemble, Justice League Action, and a whole lot of other shows that we still have to go back on.

My boyfriend and I LOVE horror movies, but he hasn't seen a lot of the ones I've seen so we've been watching a bunch while I'm here with him.I had him see Carrie, Tales From the Crypt: Demon Knight, Creepshow 1 & 2, You're Next, etc.

I just finished watching Castlevania (2017). I wasn't expecting much, but that was actually pretty good. Sure, it was short, and it felt like the first act of a larger story, and the exposition was a bit heavy handed, and certain antagonists skirted the line between corrupt and just plain stupid, okay as a whole it wasn't great, but it had great moments.It was certainly better than a certain other animated video game adaptation. No, not that one.

I started to watch Sense8 on Netflix today. Of course, I haven't seen enough of it to give an opinion. It has been ages and ages since I last watched a series lol. But I totally refuse to watch Game of Thrones.

Symphogear AXZ (AXZ is the 4th season of Symphogear) episodes 10-11. I'm going to finish it tomorrow by watching episodes 12 and 13. If you don't know what Symphogear is or haven't watched AXZ, I strongly advise not clicking "spoilers" for obvious reasons.

Summary of Symphogear: Symphogear is an anime series about a girl named Hibiki Tachibana who obtains a magicl "relic" after getting hit with a shard after it's past owner died. She is then joined by 5 other girls who I won't say the names of because spoilers. This anime is a "Musical" I should say. There is a lot of singing involved and it is essential to the plot. Go watch it if you haven't, who knows? Maybe you'll enjoy it.

Spoilers for what I think of episodes 10-11

Spoiler:

Adam seems like a very strong villain. Well as it turns out he's a robot and he was created by an unknown person. Presumably someone in the Bavarian Illuminati. Hibiki and Saint-Germain have teamed up to stop him after Kirika got seriously injured. Basically I'm curious on just how exactly Bikki and Germain will beat him. Oh and Bikki has turned into a cocoon. I'm thinking that Chris will have something to do with the final two episodes because she has been one of the most focused characters this season.

Now for what I think of The season as a whole (Spoilers of course!)

Spoiler:

Well here goes.... From the first episode of the season I could tell it would be way more action packed than previous seasons. However, so far this is probably my least favorite season of the show in a whole. Anyway, now Hibbiki and her friends work for S.O.N.G full time and they have to stop some terrorist group I forgot the name of. Doesn't really matter anyway as it presumed their leader dies within the first episode. The first few episodes of this season take place in Val Verde. (Somewhere in South America) Basically three random women then appear after he "Dies" and they want to restart the world because of a troubled past each three of them have. It then switches to Chris playing soccer/football with her friend Stefan. After which they are attacked by Noise. Suddenly one of the Noise grabs Stefan's leg, and Chris has no choice but to use her "Gear" to shoot it off. Her old mentor Sonia, is angry about this as Stefan is her younger brother. It seems like she will never forgive Chris about this, so Chris goes back to Japan with her friends because she is afraid. Genjouro is the leader of S.O.N.G and announces that the Bavarian Illuminati are plotting something and that their leader is named Adam Weishaupt. Little do they know that Adam has three minions, the main one being Saint-Germain. Her backstory is that she was treated like a slave in Roman times and her mother was killed due to malnutrition. She then seeked vengeance against the world and wanted to "renew" it. Adam then found her crying and gave her the power to live immortally. Look, I'm not going to explain anymore due to me being here all night but if you clicked the spoiler button you have probably watched it. If not, then sorry dude. Anyway, my favorite character is Dr. Ver. To bad he's umm... dead. So my "second" favorite will have to suffice. My second favorite is Kirika Akatsuki, who is the bearer of the Igalima Relic. If I rated this season it would be a 7/10.

Well.... I watched the final two episodes of Symphogear AXZ as I said I would. Anyway there is HUGE spoilers I guess so be cautious.

Spoiler:

As it turns out Adam is not a robot, he is simply an alien shapeshifter. Basically, Hibiki finally hatches out of the cocoon after the Japanese government attacks it. Hibiki has turned into a huge monster who is almost infinitely powerful and the only thing that can help her is a very close friend of hers. Tsububasa and the 4 other wielders try to stop Hibiki and save her. After Miku tells Hibiki that she is her best friend and that is Hibiki's 17th birthday. After that, America launches a missile towards Japan and the only one who can stop it is Saint-Germain. Saint-Germain knows this is pretty much it for her and she sacrifices her life to stop it. The ghosts of her 2 dead friends help her stop it. After that Shirabe notices a floating arm in mid air and it's glowing. Then the sky cracks and Adam reappears grabbing the arm, his removed arm and he turns into into a super arm? Hibikki gets really angry after Adam freezes her friends and destroys the arm. Adam then gets really angry and kills Tiki. He then turns into a huge monster and an awesome finale battle happens. Hibiki turns into her ultimate form and kills Adam by punching him to death. It is revealed that when Hibiki and Miku got hit by a ray in Symphogear G (Season 2) that Hibiki and Miku got cleansed of original sin. Thus they can become more powerful than the average person and this is why Hibiki won. Hibiki then celeberates her 17th birthday with her friends and Miku thanks her for saving the world. Okay so that I'm done talking about the plot of the final two episodes, I will rate it a 8.5/10 now because of how the final episodes were so good. The beginning of the season why kind of boring but that's kind of normal for Symphogear. Except Season 3, there was action from the first episode alone.
